PASSAGE-1
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer（温度计）for the temperature。 This helps us decide what to wear。 __71__。 We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator（冰箱）。 We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale(刻度）。 But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.__72___。 The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts（收缩）. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube。___73___.
First。 Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water。 Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar。 Then stick a plastic straw（吸管) through the nail hole。
__74__。
Finally . Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw。 Now you can see the water lever easily.
__75__.
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract， and the lever in the straw will come down。 Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled。

C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up， the water will expand and rise even higher。
E．They label these in different ways。 On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.
F．Take wax （you may use an old candle if you have one） and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把。.粘住) them together.
G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world。
PASSAGE—2
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before。
But just as in face to face communication， there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line。 51 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes。
For anything you’re about to send： ask yourself， “Would I say this to the person’s face？” if the answer is no， rewrite and reread. 52
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct （本能） is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so。 53 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member， try to fix the situation by politely discussing it。 Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
54 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake， whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer， be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake， you may not need to say anything。 Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything。 Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 55 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended。

Are you truly happy？ Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? 1 The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.
※ Make a plan for attaining（达到） goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value。
※ Surround（使包围） yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 2
※ When something goes wrong， try to figure out（想出） a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks（挫折） to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor（对…有利)。
※ 3 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
※ 4 Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously （下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.
※ Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
※ Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness。 5
A．What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else
happy.
